Has decided to appoint five teachers for the Government Schools at the Cape. Three have visited him. Asks JH about the remaining two.
Appeals to JR on behalf of Andries Stockenström, whose dismissal from Cape Colony created grief. Stockenström is ready to resign that office if he can do so in a manner that permits him to continue his career in government.
JH is concerned about MH's health, especially her sore teeth; JH sends along some letters, and reports that all are well at Slough.
Is sending further testimonials as a candidate for teaching at the Cape of Good Hope. Laments his financial condition. Thanks JH for his encouragement.
